Lightning

Honorable mention: the AC-130!

actually, the Air Force still has the A-37..they have the training variant of it.

thanks for the help guys, this question has been bugging me for ages!

if anything, the first pic looks most useful, i didnt know it was in 2 different sections altogether, is there some shaft that connects the two sections or are they independent of each other? reason why i'm asking this is the same basic layout is used in the -1, -11, -17 and the -19, i'm not sure about the -9 though.

well, the F-111 was also used as an inspiration for the VF-1 as well, even SK said it. as to it's fighting ability, i think it's only got like 2 kills in it's entire lifetime, it should really be the B-111, but blame the Air Force brass for saying it's a fighter instead of a attack aircraft or a bomber. another quote that comes to mind (it's very downgrading about the -111, but funny) "I say take off the wings, strip out the bomb bays, put in 2 rows of seats, and turn it into a high speed taxi"-the late General Boyd

ok, we all know valk's have thermonuke engines, and long ago we discussed how thermonuke engines would run and all, my question is, the front of the motor is at the front of the intake (yea L06! it's obvious! i know) but does the motor do any moving when it(the valk) gets switched to Gerwalk config? does it move backwards in the leg? does it have bendable sections? can anyone answer my question?

actually, knowing you, u'd break in to modernize it, then u could break in again to stick in the 1/72 VF-0!

OK aviation buffs and experts (as well as the general fanbase), i have a question for you: what do you think is the most underrated fighter of any nation? I think it's the F-5/T-38 Tiger II/Freedom Fighter EDIT: remember the question isnt about the most liked fighter, it's about the most UNDERRATED fighter.

very, very nice ship. like some others have echoed though, who made that thing?

HOORAY! episode 4 comes out on my birthday!

dont forget that some inspiration also came from the F-111. (a crappy plane in my opinion)

lookin nice DH! yay! 21 days!

looks ok on my side.... EDIT: it's a half hour ahead on mine, I'm in US Eastern timezone.

i'm off the boards for 2 days and now we have a Clone Sig army? WTF is going on here?

congrats on the kid Graham!

yea, like VF-1Guy was saying, is there a chance there will be a 1/48 PT of this thing? i'd look nice next to the VF-1S that i'm wanting to buy...

note to self: 1)make my Air Racing paintscheme for a VF-1J. 2)Send money to Jung to bribe him to do a custom VF-1J for me. 3)Send VF-1J to Jung 4)Repeat with new scheme.... do you do Customs for custom"challenged" people Jung?

BWAHAHAHAHA!!! that's classic, no wonder why the stupid thing keeps hitting a rock.

why does that thing look like the VF-0A?(the pic in the quoted post)

if everything goes right, in a couple years i might be at the Air Force Academy, and if they'll let me correct my vision, i might be flying F-16's here in a few years, well, here's hoping.

this is why i made my sig smaller..... it used to be really huge, even before i put my "'X' number of days to go" sig up, i just thought that it was probably annoying people so i made it smaller.

is it me or did someone forget about Jenna Jameson and Suzanne Sommers?

with that many kills that pilot should be in a VF-1S or a VF-4 by now....

HG MUST BURN IN HELL! THAT IS LUDICROUS! HOW DARE THEY BUTCHER THE ALMIGHTY VF-4!!! EDIT: ok, i'm done ranting.

i still think Maxi is one of the best, the reason why i dont end up on my ass when i play as him is because when i commit to a move, i follow up with one that links really well with the first one if the first move fails. I just use his speed to his advantage, it often catches most of my friends off guard, except for the one that just uses Xianghua's cheap shot.
